Verdict
Bunnings remains a reliable destination for in-store hardware needs due to its vast range and helpful specialist staff. However, the online Marketplace and digital infrastructure are major points of frustration, characterised by poor communication and difficult dispute resolution. While the physical shopping experience is generally positive, the service quality for deliveries and online orders is inconsistent.
Extremely disappointing service – avoid this seller! I purchased Artiss Under Sink Organizer With Removable Baskets from Bunnings Marketplace three weeks ago, and I still haven't received my order. For the past three weeks, I have repeatedly been receiving the exact same notification: “Your package with iMile is out for delivery today!” Yet,… Read more
three weeks later, my package is still nowhere to be seen.
I only wish I had read the reviews before placing my order. Had I known about other customers' experiences, I would never have purchased from this seller.
Absolutely terrible service and a complete waste of time. I will never order from them again. Highly disappointing and definitely not recommended!
I placed a $300 order with Bunnings Alexandria on Monday the 2nd Nov and it was coming by ute in 1-3 days, so probably Wednesday, Thursday at the latest, but it never showed up. So I decided to call online ordering "Customer Support Team" on Friday but getting through to them was a chore as I was told I am 22 in line with a 40 minute wait so I… Read more
decided to wait and see if it did come and if not I would call the Alexandria store on Saturday and get it sorted.
So I called them on Saturday 7th Nov and they told me that they couldn't fill the order so it was sent to Eastgardens store which they never informed me of, but anyway I called Eastgardens and they told me my order wasn't even filled yet.
By this time is was seeing red but I kept it cool and told them I am really annoyed by the way Bunnings has handled such a simple order, and the staff member said they were very sorry and that my delivery cost will be refunded because it was way past the intended delivery time and that my order will be priority and delivered on Sunday 8th Nov.
Remember that word, ...."Priority" So Sunday came around and I waited for the ANC delivery driver to arrive and he arrived after lunch, but mysteriously he had forgot to actually put my order in his ute.
But he said no worries I'll go back and get it and it might be today or maybe tomorrow that I come back.
But later on in the day I received a call from ANC informing me that the delivery would be coming first thing Monday morning and that it would a "priority" delivery at 7am.
Well it's now 11:01am on Monday 9th Nov and I am watching a little truck emoji on the ANC app travel from one delivery spot to another, he's was at Bondi Junction but now he's at Rose bay, but to be fair he did get pretty close to my place at least once.
I am beginning to find Bunnings professionalism is lacking because this the the second incident I have had with them of late as the last time they overcharged me by $70 for delivery as they said my delivery was coming by truck but it came in a ute, so be careful if that happens to you, and if it does don't be afraid to ask for a price difference refund.
But as for my order, maybe it will actually come today .....or maybe it won't.
Maybe Bunnings and ANC will find Professionalism together....or maybe they won't, who knows.
Not sure what is going on lately with Bunnings, but they are frequently failing to despatch online orders in a timely manner. I contacted three days in a row after there was no movement with a recent order, was assured directly from the store that it would be prioritised only to give up and cancel the order due to an ongoing failure to fulfil. Not… Read more
once did the status of the order change throughout all these communications. This isn’t the first time this has happened either. I do have to commend customer support who did everything they could in this instance to try to rectify the situation.

I would like to recognise Jessica at Bunnings Tarneit (Leakes Road) for her exceptional customer service. She patiently assisted me from start to finish and made sure everything was resolved, even sacrificing her own coffee break to help. Jessica is a true asset to the Bunnings team. Thank you for providing such outstanding service.
Bought the redwood fire 15kg. So much better than the 20kg bag of something else that they used to sell. The value is in the quality of the wood. Burns hotter and slower than what was offered before. I'm a regular Saturday night fire guy. Thankyou Bunnings Show details
Who doesn’t love a good trip to Bunnings... I can't fault them for anything, every time I shop there I'm happy with the service and the prices. Even when you need to return something they are happy to do it, even if it's just a bracket for $6 lol. Show details · 1

Purchased three tins of paint from Bunnings Kent town and received excellent service every time — the team worked hard to get my colour exactly right. After a wrong mix at the Parafield store, Kent town got it right straight away. Huge thanks to the Kent town staff — you’re the best Definitely deserve a raise Show details · 1
I initially gave this Marketplace seller 1 star because they sent me the wrong product. The item was supposed to be a complete car remote control, but instead I received an empty shell with no internal electronics or chips. I'm now updating my rating to 3 stars because they responded promptly to my messages and eventually sent the correct item. However, it took few weeks to receive the replacement, so there is still room for improvement.
Hi Mark, thanks for taking the time to submit… Read more
I place a large order and got it delivered at $220 from a store only 10klms away but when the order arrived the soil and bark was dropped off on a pellet in the driveway. After we emptied the pellet it was so hard to dispose of it was old wood and extremely heavy and too big for our car. We then spent more time effort and cost getting rid of the pellet. Not good enough will never be doing that again

I purchased a mattress through Bunnings Marketplace and, unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The mattress was delivered to the wrong address and marked as signed for, despite nobody at my address signing for the delivery. I had to search neighbouring houses to locate the item myself. Another source of frustration was the product… Read more
listing. The same mattress appears to be advertised under different names across various retailers and websites, often at significantly different prices. This created confusion about exactly which model was being sold and whether it was comparable to other Zinus mattresses available online. Even during correspondence regarding my case, different product names were referenced, which only added to the confusion.
The mattress remained unopened and unused, however my concerns were treated simply as a change-of-mind return, and the responses I received felt generic rather than addressing the specific issues I had raised.
I was left with the impression that the customer experience and the circumstances of my case were not properly considered throughout the process.

Ordered 3 units/boxes of wall shelvings online. When I collected and put on my van, 1 of the boxes broke open and revealed missing parts. Went back to the store and exhange it with a “Sealed box”, they also found the missing parts at the store. When I got home another nox broke open, revealing that they are used not brandnew, broken screws,… Read more
brackets with brick dust etc. Bunnings staff are well known for being lazy, they should have quality check the order before handin it over to customers, just pure lazyness on Bunnings part.

Purchased a sofa chair for a back that's been injured and still waiting months later (since first part of September) for the 'free' parts being sent to me that were missing from the box. It is now 24th October and still no answer or care. My chair, all $324.98 of it, is sitting like a heap of rubbish in my small space, now creating a tripping… Read more
hazard. Meanwhile against doctor's orders, I have to sit on a barstool with a painful back. Does this company ever stop disappointing? PLEASE DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM!!! There is no accountability and no fear of damaging their reputation in an accelerated rate it seems. At this point I deserve the parts and a full refund for the stress they have caused me. It's not like I know what parts to go out and get on my own which will work. There have been back and forth emails. My first email was quite simple to understand; I need these parts (with picture from flyer). Reply was, no worries they will get them to me free of charge. Waited, waited and waited. Then had to prod with another email just to get the response like this is the first time they heard about it. Asked me again if these are the parts I need! So the clock starts again! More waiting. THESE PEOPLE ARE PAINFUL TO DEAL WITH! Just don't do it to yourself. The latest is, I reported to Bunnings customer service finally. Didn't hear a thing for a few weeks. Then get a canned response with UFurniture copied into the email (basically cut and pasted my complaint to this company). So where is Bunning's accountability as well? They are the ones who need to issue a stern warning as it also gives them a bad rep. This is quite easily the worst company in Australia.

Ripped off by Bunnings, last night I researched price on Earthwool Wall Batts insulation, decided to get it at Bunnings at Bonnyrigg, as after I drop my son off to school. My local Bunnings are Padstow, Kingsgrove and Bankstown. Thought all Bunnings prices were the same for all stores. Anyway paid for it and installed the packet. When I went to… Read more
order more, I notice the prices were different throughout their stores. Either $133 what I paid for or $106, that’s a difference of $27 if I bought it locally. Not much difference for 1 packet, but if you were to do an entire roof, could cost you an extra $270 if you bought at the wrong Bunnings. Do your research online first, go to their website, put what you want in the basket, change it to click and collect, and change the stores. I just wonder what other items are priced differently for different Bunnings, In a way it’s misleading advertisement, tell you a lower price on their website and hit you with a different price when you get there. I should have checked but I had many things in my trolley and was in a rush.

Asked Bunnings to match the price. They said not the same product. Most people can see they are identical. @Bunnings price match guarantee not worth a pinch of …. Item on left is Speedfit door slider. Item on right is a pack of 10 for $29.95 from a large global online business that delivers free overnight [Name Removed]. It matched Bunnings product identically but the dude said not the same….I beg to differ but they are identical!

I bought this light online delivered by Bunnings Marketplace costing me $149.00 au. Purchased on 13th July 2026 and the light stopped working today 28/09/2026. Contacted Bunnings who said the bulb wasn't under warranty because it would have broken by a Power Surge. Funny that I have solar and a battery, nothing else stopped working even the microwave clock was still going.

I have had a gutful of these idiots! Everyone of them, from the shop floor to the head office, is just completely ignorant of the jobs they do. My classic example is their Mondella tapware, which is just complete garbage! This is the second one in… Read more
15 months, and both should have been replaced under warranty. Their people in head office tell me that because they were installed by the homeowner, it isn't covered, because the installation sheet asks for a licensed plumber to do the job, so I'm not covered. In 2025 the law changed in South Australia to allow homeowners to do certain plumbing jobs, but Bunnings did not change their documentation or even bother to fill in their workers with these new changes. Their people are not just ignorant; they are arrogant and very ill-mannered. Check the video out. This is a $250 tap; it is the second one, so that makes it a $500 install. Bunnings, you are the lowest of the low.
Follow-up · The problem here goes well beyond a faulty tap. It raises serious concerns about the honesty, competence and training of Bunnings staff, from the shop floor right through to head office. Either staff are not being properly informed about the laws relevant to their jobs, or customers are being deliberately misled. Neither is acceptable. In South… Read more

Will and his two co-workers in the timber/trade drive thru, Georgia at service desk, 7pm Ballina store 1st Oct 2026, all contributed to a pleasant experience.

I did purchase a stepstool from Bunnings online because they didn't have it at my store in Pimpama but when it arrived it was the wrong colour so then I queried it because the only reason I ordered green is because I painted my kitchen tendril green with paint from Bunnings and the service there is amazing and the staff is so friendly and I just… Read more
love going there - I did contact their chatline and was informed that they would send me a new stool and I was happy with that and I then had a gentleman from Uber deliver it and when he got to my fence he accidently dropped it on the concrete and of course I couldn't believe it but I have no qualms in stating that it was an accident and of course it was scratched. I then did contact Bunnings because I was upset it was scratched and I told them I didn't want a new stepstool as I now have three (one that I purchased 6 years ago) one that they delivered the wrong colour and the right colour that was scratched so I had enough step stools, but to my surprise they sent me a new step stool (right colour - not scratched) and I honestly can state that they went way beyond their obligations to me but I can only state what a lovely company and how nice they were and I hope that they actually read this review because I want to thank the staff at Pimpama for assisting me in all the products that I buy there and the fact is the staff is wonderful and now I can state without a doubt their customer service is beyond 5 stars.

Extremely disappointing customer service – Avoid Bunnings Online and Timeless Living This has been one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever encountered.

Bunnings Warehouse, I was informed that the product was supplied by a third-party seller and that Bunnings could not process the refund. While this may have been disclosed in the fine print, it was certainly not something I had appreciated when making the purchase.
I then contacted the third-party supplier, Timeless, to arrange a refund. What should have been a straightforward process turned into an unnecessarily lengthy and frustrating ordeal.
After considerable difficulty getting the return approved, I was instructed to post the item back at my own expense, costing $25 in postage for an item worth just $30. I subsequently heard nothing for approximately a month. Eventually, I was advised that a refund would be issued, less their postage costs, despite the fact that I had already paid $25 to return the item myself.
The entire experience has been absolutely ridiculous. The lack of communication, the difficulty obtaining a refund and the unreasonable return process have left me incredibly dissatisfied.
Frankly, this is a terrible reflection on Bunnings’ reputation. As a major Australian retailer, Bunnings should take greater responsibility for the third-party sellers operating through its online marketplace. Customers shouldn’t have to navigate this sort of experience when purchasing through a brand they know and trust.
I will certainly never purchase anything through Bunnings Online again. My advice to anyone considering it is to think twice. You would be better off purchasing through [Brand Removed] or another retailer with a more straightforward returns process.
An absolute joke from start to finish.
Very very dissapointed Very very dissapointed. I ordered one thing 'towel warmer' like 15 days ago, cause it was a birthday gift for my mom that lives in another continent.

gonna get delivered. It took me an hour getting transfered to 4 different people, to find out that it will not be getting delivered on time. The lady that picked up in padstow was so diamissive. I apparently had 2 options, either to cancel or wait a few week more, AFTER I WAITWD FOR 15 DAYS. The lady in kingsgrove was lovely and helpful. But app the fastest delivery would be on the 10th. Would be great if you could tell me what am i supposed to do with the product that i needed by november 6th. If you guys cannot handle online order and dont care about the customer, just stop taking obline orders. If i hadnt called today, i wouldve never known that i was not getting the product. I ended up wasting my time and now have to look for something else with no time in hand since I work all three days 9-5. Thank you so much for absolutely nothing.

Bunnings Click & Collect service is hopeless based on my recent experience. I ordered 3 straightforward items via Click & Collect on Thursday evening.

By Sunday afternoon I had heard nothing from the store in Gungahlin, ACT. I phoned the store, was told they would look into the order and call me straight back. Two hours late, nothing, so I jump on the website to use their chat service. I finally get through to a person and they just tell me to keep waiting. I said I’ve been waiting already since Thursday. I mentioned their policy, about next day pick up, but she tells me that’s not a guarantee. She then tells me I can visit the store, collect the items myself, then go to the Click & Collect desk to process the order. So basically they expect me to do their job for them.
So I visited the store and did just that. Took me 10 minutes to get the items myself. When I returned home, I received a message that my items were ready for pickup.
Bravo Bunnings. I wish Masters were still around. They were so much better than Bunnings.
So it seems Bunnings Click & Collect service works as follows:
1 order online, - but get no confirmation email
2 then they ignore your order for several days
3 customer calls after 3 days, they tell the customer they will get back to you, but fail to do so.
4 they give excuses when your items are still not ready
5 customer contacts the chat service online - they tell the customer to go to the store and take the items off the shelves yourself
6 give up waiting for the order to be ready, visit the store yourself, personally collect the items
7 then queue up for the privilege
8 return home, then receive an email that my items are ready to pickup

I visited Bunnings at Sth Penrith 29/10/2026 to purchase some assorted hardware. I noticed at least 3 people hiding in aisles and the nursery section using their mobile phones. When I asked for an item I was looked at like I was interrupting them and given "I think it's over there". Come on guys unless it's life threatening do your job and turn the phones off.
